After CU, what next?
In this talk, CU professor Myles Osborne talks about life after college. He reflects on his own journey since arriving in the USA to attend university in New York City 20 years ago. For the bulk of those years, he has lived in different parts of the African continent traveling, working, and researching. And during that time, the way we think about Africa has changed: the continent has oscillated between being the “next big thing,” to a story of doom and gloom. The ways we uncover the history of Africa have changed too, with new methods (such as DNA sequencing) revolutionizing the ways we “do” history. Osborne reflects on these themes while sharing personal stories and anecdotes, from hitchhiking 10,000 miles across the African continent to being involved in a rescue near the summit of Mt. Everest.

All CU Boulder faculty, staff, and students are welcome to attend!
